It's December 2009, one month to go. What a year of change and transition this has been for me. In August 2009 I left my Brooklyn studio, where I had lived since 2000, and consolidated all my archives and belongings in my permanent residence in the Adirondack foothills, Greenfield Center, New York -- just outside of Saratoga Springs.

Here in Greenfield I'll be digging out for quite awhile.But my new lifestyle still has me in NYC every month for a few days and sometimes twice a month.

In October 2008, Mary Ann Lynch joinedRed Dog Journal: Where Ideas Expand, as a columnist and Editor at Large. The Journal was part of Red Dog News, All About Photographythe bi-monthly online publication founded in July 2008 by Tim Anderson, former publisher of Camera Arts magazine. RDJ ceased publication in 2011.

Lynch's first offering was a four-part series-- "The Sixth Annual Lucie Awards 2008: Meeting the Masters,"including an overview of the Awards and interviews with 2008 Lucie Honorees: Herman Leonard (Portraiture), Erwin Olaf (Advertising) and John Iacono (Sports).

• Jan/Feb 2007 "Visionaries & Noble Hearts: The Eddie Adams Workshop." Lynch takes us inside this beloved workshop as it enters its twentieth year. Better known as "Barnstorm," this "bootcamp for photographers" was the creation of renowned photojournalist Eddie Adams. Each year 100 of the best emerging photographers, selected from submissions from throughout the world, are brought together at the Adams farm in Liberty, New York. There, 100 industry greats lead, coach, and encourage them through an intensive four days of workshops, lectures, shooting to assignment, and professional reviews.

• Nov/Dec 2006 "Unseen Worlds and The Dance of Life: The Photography of Andre Naggar." Mary Ann sat down with Andre near the close of his show at the John Stevenson Gallery in New York in January 2005 and continued her interview with him by phone when he returned to Paris. Of his photography Naggar says, "I photograph not the dancer but the dance, not the bird but its flight, not a horse but the race." Her article looks back over his distinguished career and how he arrived at his particular kind of photography, which bridges the worlds of painting and photography. Naggar, who lives in Paris, is now 80-plus and shows no signs of slowing down, in any arena. He represents France in World Squash Competitions, where last Fall he won in his category. His photographs are in many distinguished collections.

• September/October 2006 "Preludes: the Photography of Toni Parks." One of Toni Parks's earliest photographs was of her father Gordon coming out of the darkroom, but it was not until years later that Toni seriously turned to photography. Now with more than two decades of work and many exhibitions to her credit, this distinguished multi-talented photographer is in the spotlight she deserves.

• July/August 2006 In "A Tribute to Robert Heinecken, 1931-2006" Mary Ann looks at the life and accomplishments of one of the 20th-century's photographic geniuses. Heinecken was known for constantly pushing the envelope of what we know as photography, and for establishing the Department of Photography at UCLA.

June 1, 2006 would have been Marilyn Monroe's 80th birthday; August 5, 2006 was the 44th anniversary of her death.

• Feb/March 2006 "Cherie Hiser: The Fabric of Her Life & Times" goes deep into the work of this remarkable woman who earned a place in photographic history when she conceived and founded The Center of the Eye in Aspen in 1968. Lee Friedlander dubbed her "photo-evangelist" and she is that and much more. The article features several images that have never before been published. Hiser's retrospective at Photographic Image Gallery in Portland, Oregon, was on view through February 2006.
